I have the 1967 Mets yearbook somewhere that Tommy Davis signed. He was quite a player although many favored his brother Willie. Both played for a
long time with the Dodgers until Tommy came to the Mets in 1967. His trade for Tommie Agee and Al Weis was a key to the championship a few years later.
Baseball-Reference lists family connections. If you go to Rick Reuschel's page, it shows Paul Reuschel as his brother. There's no such mention on either Tommy or Willie Davis' B-R page. Tommy was born in Brooklyn while Willie was born in Arkansas. I don't believe they're brothers.

You need to find that yearbook!

All these years later, I stand corrected that the Davis pair were not related. Old dog and new tricks. And I will start a search for that yearbook.
But in the 1968 Topps Game card , Tommy has a big smile !! And , it’s a WALK …
That game card photo is the same one featured in this 1967 COTW
